mean, on every level this was huge. I finally have a kid who is tuned in

and cares. (Well, I know it's just trick or treat...!!) But I am thankful.

Beth,

I cried when I read your post! What great strides Ben has made. :-)

That must be so cool! You must be so elated. I'm so happy for you. Seth

screamed the two hours we were out. This was the first year we have ever

been out to trick or treat, but my girls loved it! LOL

Beth,

Jim and I were talking about how much Matt has grown up this year, just

in reference to Halloween and trick or treating. He is 10. He wanted M

& M's (His favorite candy) which is the first time he has ever really

shown that he cares about this at all. He went with his sibs, and the

first house that gave M & M's, he was finished. Came home, ate his M &

M's, fished out a few Recees's cups and was completely satisified. If

only his sibs could be that way!

sounds like PB had a great time, nathan would wear any costumes, we tried

many differrent kinds and masks too, finally he let me put white make up on

his face and he would carry a blanket over his head being a ghost(he does

this around the house, like on scooby) and he actually said trick or treat in

his way and said thank you every time mostly walking going ooooooooo,

ooooooo, only tricked or treated a few blocks to his grandmas house then that

was it. All he ate was the peanut butter cup he got from his gradma (only

candy he likes, as she knows) the rest his brother has been working on. hope

everyone had a happy and scary halloween. shawna.

LOL Gail!!! A devil dressed as an angel maybe!! No, actually, she was

Tweety dressed as a pumpkin. Too funny!!!

<<He hates parties and people

upsetting his territory, so I thought a walk in the stroller would be a

better choice. WRONG!!!!!>>

Aw...poor Seth!! And poor Mom!! The kids always recoup quicker than us

moms. Halloween just isn't his thing this year, nor Maddie's. Some day

though, I'm sure!! We may be 70 by then, but what the hey; it keeps you

young....LOL

Congratulations, Beth! It sounds like Ben's got the hang of

trick-or-treating now. Glad you both enjoyed the experience this year.
